[PATCH master 2/2] fs: fix resolving paths when directory name repeats

[Ahmad Fatoum]

d_same_name() used to only check if the name exists in any of the
directory's children.

In order to fix lookup of /, the function was changed to also compare
the name against the parent. This is obviously wrong, when the parent
and child have the same name: Resolution of the child would always
return the parent dentry triggering unexpected behavior.

Fix this by effectively reverting the functional change in commit
3a478ff3e1e6 ("fs: support opening /"). This breaks opening /, but that
currently only affects dirfd usage and will be fixed separately.

Fixes: 3a478ff3e1e6 ("fs: support opening /")
